Here are two nice hawks.
1. KUNDE & Cie., Remscheid. Near Solingen and Ohligs.
2' S.C.H (or B.C.H.) over BOPCMA inside a diamond. Guessing the "P" is the Cyrillic "R". So, "Borcma". Very well made, hollow ground blade, integral and etched bolsters, heavy backspring. oak scales may or may not be replacements (?) , but the knife isn't worn at all ???
Has anyone ever seen the mark?
J.O'.

I'll answer myself. Stamp translates to "Vorsma", a Russian cutlery center. The knife is pretty well made for a soviet product. J.O'.

Vorsma sanitary knife (there is such an industrial city in Russia, you can look it up on Google maps). I don't know the exact production date. Military doctors had such knives. They used these knives to remove clothes from wounded soldiers. Soviet people also used these knives in everyday life, cutting twigs in the garden, cutting off rosebuds, bunches of grapes, etc.
